That Tired Feehnq

The warm weather has a facilitating effect,
especially upon those who are within doors
most of the time. The peculiar. yet common,
complaint known as "that tired f~eellng,''
is the result. This feeling can be entirely
overcome by taking Hoods ~Sarsaparilla,
which gives new life and strength to all
the functions OF the body.
81 could not sleep; had no appetite. I
took Hoods S~arsaparilla and soon began to
sleep s%oundly; could get up without that
tired and languid feeling; and my appetite
improved" r. A. SANFORD, Kent, Ohio.

Hoods Sarsaparilla is characterized by
three peculiarities I: LIST, the combination OF
remedial agents; I'd, the proportion; Sd, the
process OF securing the active medicinal
qualities. b result Is q medicine Of unusual
strength, effecting cures hitherto unknown.

An easy feeling exists among the business
men end bankers in this city. Thursdays
clearances evinced the confidence that the
public has in the legitimate banks. Many of
them make a better showing than they did
before the Fidelity's collapse. Briggs Cum
ningham, president of the Citizens National,
said: "The banks all passed through the
clearing house Thursday and evidenced no
weakness that anybody could detect. Not a
bank had to borrow a cent. As for a run, l
have seen no signs of it. know Of no reason
why any bank of the city should be affected
by the Fidelity's operations"
There are many touching tales Of the losses
incident to the rascality. United States
home Thursday night 1 hoped that the three
directors would get bo~ds. When 1 reached
horne a lady in deep mourning was awaiting
to see me. She introduced herself as the
widow of Ennes Parker, a well-known jew
eler who died a year ago. She said that she
and her husband had stinted themselves to
keep up a large life insurance, and that when
he died she received $14, coo. This was de-
posted in the Fidelity. Tuesday morning
she needed some money for household ex-
penses, and, coming to town, found the bank
closed and her all vanished. Then I wished, /"
said Urner, ito see the men fail to give bond
and go to Jail"
Harper's rolling mill hands for last week
were paid in checks on the Fidelity bank last
Saturday and a few turned over to pay
grocers and other debts, but they were re-
turned and the men rave lost a weeks work.
The saddest case is of q man named Grady,
employed by the Mitchell Furniture company.
He was dying with consumption, but wishing
to see the friends of his boyhood and old Ire
land before he died he sold his furniture and
property for $500 preparatory to going
back. The money was deposited in the
Fidelity and the man is dying here.
Among the sufferers by the Fidelity failure
is Mrs. s. A. Hall, the venerable widow of
Professor Hall, the Attic explorer, who has
been getting a pension from the government
in recognition of her husbands services. All
she possessed for her old age was in fifty
shares of the Fidelity stock, which she had
been induced to invest in under promise of z
per cent. She had $500 in the bank.

BUSINESS NOTES.

The failure Of the Fidelity bank Of Cincin-
natl has disturbed business quite extensively
In New York, and other causes have resulted
in temporary stringency. The failures for
the past seven days were III in the states, in
Canada, 20; total, 1917; as compared with 2ls
last week, and 1852 for the corresponding week
last year.
The loss Of employers and workers by the

at s75O,000. II is believed that the strike
will soon terminate.
